Our Mission

Join Judaism was built for one purpose: to give every conversion candidate — regardless of movement, rabbi, or community — the best possible preparation tools. Too many candidates walk into their Beit Din underprepared, not because they haven't studied, but because they didn't have a structured, modern way to do it.

Editorial approach

Join Judaism covers topics encountered in Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox conversion programs. Requirements vary by movement, rabbi, community, institution, and individual circumstances. The site highlights those differences and links to primary or institutional references when a claim depends on a particular authority.

Sources, review, and corrections

Rachel Goldberg is an editorial pen name, not a claim of personal rabbinic authority. The publication date, revision date, sources, reviewer information, and corrections shown on an article describe the checks completed for that specific page. When no reviewer is named, readers should not infer endorsement by a rabbi, physician, lawyer, movement, or government authority.

If you find an error or an important denominational nuance that is missing, please use the contact page. Material corrections are recorded on the relevant article.

Privacy-first, no community affiliation

Join Judaism is an independent educational platform. We are not affiliated with any synagogue, movement, or rabbinical body. Your study data stays on your device or in your secure account — we never share it.
